    Contributed by Bill Bowdle on Jul 6, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,868 views

    Sermon compares postmodern "Stairway to Nowhere" to Jacob's Stairway to Heaven in Genesis which climbs to God. Postmodernism climbs nowhere toward relativism w/o universal truth. Christianity climbs to God, the author and anchor of TRUTH.

    "POSTMODERNISM: & THE STAIRWAY TO NOWHERE" REV. BILL BOWDLE 01/05/97 Scripture: Genesis 28:10-22 Gen 28:10 Jacob left Beersheba and set out for Haran.

    Finding God For Yourself

    Contributed by John Lowe on Jun 10, 2013
     | 8,573 views

    All the way through the Old Testament we find that God does not want the godly to marry with the ungodly. And the New Testament tells Christians that they are not to be unequally yoked. For example, it says in 2 Corinthians, “Do not be unequally yoked to

    God treats you with GRACE. He comes to ASSURE you, of His presence and promise. He wants to BLESS you.

    Isaac has twin sons, Jacob and Esau. Right from the beginning, Gen 25 tells us they were very different. • Esau a skilful hunter, always out in the open country, and Jacob staying in the tents, a homemaker. • There was rivalry between them, right from the start. Genesis records two ...read more

    Thesis: To know God’s will for your life comes from you knowing God personally, having an encounter with God like Jacob, Moses and Nehemiah did and then taking step one.

    Series: Rest in Our Scripture for this series - Isa. 40:29-31: "He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.

     | 32,397 views

    Jacob had an encounter with God that shook him to his core. This fugitive on the run discovered that his ancestors' God was his God, and that this God would be with him wherever he went. Great lessons for us to learn on our faith pilgrimage.

    Genesis 28:10-19 When God Shows Up In today’s story, Jacob was in a strange place to meet God. You might expect to encounter God at a church retreat or a revival meeting, or in an inspiring church service. You might expect to find God when you are serving him with all your heart. But Jacob had ...read more

    There are two ways to try build God's House, there is a right way, the Bethel Model, or the wrong way, the Babel Model.

    TWO WAYS OF BUILDING GOD'S HOUSE. The Babel Model - the wrong way!

    Have you ever noticed that? The Bible is not simple, and it's not man made. It's all interconnected. The first verse of the Old Testament says "in the beginning God created" it all. Of course we know from Genesis chapters 2 and 3 that things went wrong.

    In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1. In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. John 1:1. Have you ever noticed that?

    Jacob was Isaac's son and Abraham's grandson. He stopped at Bethel, for the night, but some interesting things happened while he was there.

    Bethel: where Jacob met the Lord Preface: When you think of Jacob, what comes to mind? Clearly, he was one of the most colorful people in the Bible! Sometimes we think he was a shady character, such as when he “bargained” with Esau for the birthright. I still think there’s a bit of humor in that ...read more

    Homily for Monday of 14th week in course There is an undeniable tension in the Gospels between two divine realities.

    It's Tradition Series

    Contributed by Roshelle Brenneise on Jul 5, 2021
     | 3,510 views

    Many of us participate in Traditions, but never ask the question, "Why do we do that?" Communion is so much more than a simple tradition. It's about remembering what Jesus did for us.

    July 03, 2021 It’s funny how traditions get started. They are important, to be sure, because they remind us of home and family and culture, but sometimes we participate in them not knowing why we do them because we have never stopped to ask, “Why do we do that?”. ...read more
